Three steps. No resume stack.
A short call
Tell us the role, the team and what good looks like on your floor or in your pipeline.
2-3 vetted profiles
We run an active search and send two or three people who fit. Not a stack of resumes.
You interview, you hire
Market rates, a fee structure that fits the search, and a guarantee on every candidate hired through us.
The questions every hiring manager asks first.
What does it cost?
Market rates, and the structure flexes with the search. Fully contingent, which costs nothing unless you hire. Retained for leadership roles. A blend for volume. It depends on how many roles you have and how much of the recruiting you want us to carry, and we agree the structure on the call, before any search starts.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
Every candidate hired through Traverse comes with a guarantee. We stand by it, and we walk you through the terms on the call.
How fast will we see people?
The search starts right after the call, and bringing your time to hire down is the first job. You get two or three vetted profiles that fit the role, the shift and the certifications, not a stack of resumes. On the call we'll tell you what the market looks like for your role in your area.
